Prefatory    Note 


Students  of  American  history  require  no  introduction,  at  this  Lit- 
day,  to  the  Draper  Collection  of  Manuscripts  in  the  Wisconsin  State 
Historical  Library.  i'Yr  many  years  they  have  been  constantly  drawn 
•upon  by  historical  investigators.  Around  them  as  a  nucleus  has  been 
developed  a  great  historical  library,  manuscript  and  printed,  to  which 
ail  serious  investigators  of  the  i'roniier  phase  of  American  history  mus' 
ultimately  ivs<>rt. 

Many  years  ago  the  late  superintendent  of  the  Society,  Dr.  K.  ({. 
Yh  wait  es,  published  a  descriptive  list  of  its  manuscript  collection.  ;  ix 
present  volume  marks  the  tirst  step  toward  the  publication  of  a  detailed 
cal'.'iidar  of  the  Draper  Manuscripts.  In  determining  the  contents  of  the 
volumes  of  the  forthcoming  series  it  has  been  deemed  best  to  conform  to 
the  scheme  of  classification  adopted  for  the  original  manuscripts.  The 
present  volume  calendars  the  Preston  and  1  he  Virg.nia  series  of  manu 
scripts.  The  former  comprise  six  and  the  latter  sixteen  of  the  t'oin 
hundred  and  sixty-nine  bound  volumes  in  the  Draper  Collection.  A 
1  rief  description  of  Ihe  contents  of  the  two  series  may  be  found  on 
paxes  (>0-G4  and  91-98  of  the  1906  edition  of  the  L)t.m  i  ip'tvc  L'^i  of 
Manuscript  Collections  of  the  tfiatr  Historical  Society  of  Wisconsin, 
edited  by  Reuben  G.  Thwaites.  The  marginal  pressmark  i;.- 
di«-ates  the  location  of  the  original  document  in  the  Draper  Collect  -  n. 
The  number  befoi'e  the  letters  shows  in  which  volume  of  ihe  serie-  th  • 
document  occurs,  the  letters  designate  the  -cries,  while  the  numb  r  f  1- 
iowing  the  letters  indicates  tlie  page  or  pag'-'S  of  tlie  volume  occupied  b. 
the  document.  To  illustrate,  in  the  case  of  the  first  document  cal  -n- 
dared  tlie  pressmark  16ZZ1-35  means  that  the  document  is  found  in 
the  Virginia  Series,  volume  xvi,  pages  1-35. 

The  work  of  calendaring  the  volume  has  been  performed  by  Miss 
Mabel  Clare  Weaks,  chief  of  the  division  of  maps  and  manuscripts. 
The  preparation  of  the  copy  for  the  press  has  been  the  work  of  Miss 
Annie  A.  Nnmis,  assistant  superintendent  of  the  Society,  and  Mis.s 
Eleanore  E.  Lothrop,  the  superintendent's  secretary.
